Meet Henry Wallace (D)

Henry Wallace was our Vice President from 1941 to 1944. I’m offering the following quotation to see if it makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end, as it did mine. I’ve added some italicized, parenthetical modern-day translations I’ve made regarding Wallace’s concerns.

Dot Calm’s Quote of the Day

American fascism will not be really dangerous until there is a purposeful coalition among the cartelists (corporations), the deliberate poisoners of public information (the media), and those who stand for the KKK-type of demagoguery (religious zealots).

—Henry A. Wallace, Vice President to Franklin Roosevelt (1944)
